Granville Kiwanis has been working with The Adaptive Adventure Sports Coalition (TAASC) based in Dublin, OH to provide Amtrykes to disabled youth and veterans in our local community and around Central Ohio. TAASC maintains an active waitlist of eligible candidates who request financial assistance in Central Ohio. Through donations and grants, they train volunteers to assess, request and provide trykes throughout the year. Each tryke is customized to the individual's needs and can be modified or traded-in as the child grows.

Amy presented the tryke to Savanna who was "all smiles" and just celebrated her birthday the day before. Over 133 people including her mother Tonya McDade attended the event. We collected $4865 in donations and pledges for Ambucs that evening. Thanks to Division 10-E Key Clubs for $690!

Members donated their meal cost to help raise funds for the $900 Amtryke, a joint gift of the Kiwanis Clubs of Division 10E.

Granville Kiwanis and Division 10E donated two amtrykes to youth from New Albany on Sept 14, 2017 at Blendon Woods Park. Shown are New Albany Kiwanians and the families of Channing and Paxton.

On November 20, 2017 at a Kiiwanis meeting at the Granville Inn, Santa presented Maddox Bertke (age 5 from Granville) accompanied by his family, his own therapeutic tryke. He told Santa thank you and rode the tryke out of the Granville Room, down the ramp to his car. He took the opportunity to ask Santa for a present for Christmas, a Robin (Batman's sidekick) mobile.
